Limited Space? Consider a Mini-excavator to handle jobs other machine can't.
Exploring the Value of Mini Excavators with Retractable/Expandable Undercarriages
Mini excavators with retractable undercarriages are purpose-built for jobs where space is limited. Whether you’re moving through backyard gates, navigating indoor jobsites or working in urban areas, these compact machines are designed to squeeze in and get the job done. A retractable undercarriage lets operators narrow the machine’s track width for tight access and expand it on the jobsite for added stability. It’s a critical feature for professionals tackling residential work, interior demolition or utility tasks in crowded spaces. They’re easy to transport on small trailers and trucks, saving time and money. Despite their small size, they offer serious digging power, impressive reach and compatibility with a wide range of attachments.
Ideal for Residential and Indoor Work
From backyard trenching to basement foundation repairs, retractable undercarriage machines can access tight areas that larger equipment simply can’t. Their maneuverability makes them ideal for jobs with limited clearance or delicate surfaces and can boost your productivity in tight quarters.
Spotlight on the Bobcat E20 Compact Excavator
The Bobcat E20 compact (or mini) excavator is a powerful, yet highly maneuverable, machine designed for tight spaces and small-scale projects. With an operating weight of 4,306 lbs., this machine provides impressive performance across indoor demolition, residential landscaping and backyard projects. A retractable undercarriage and blade allow E20 operators to reduce its width to just 39 in., allowing access through tight gates and doorways. Its zero-tail-swing design provides flexibility if you are constantly working close to objects or against a wall. The E20’s in-track swing frame means that swing castings and cylinders remain within the tracks when digging in an offset position, allowing operators to get even closer to their work in tight areas. The boom cylinder is top mounted to protect against wear and tear, while the standard long arm increases reach and dig depth, minimizing the need for repositioning. Operators appreciate the ergonomic controls, including selectable control patterns and available fingertip controls for lower fatigue. Its 2-Speed travel with optional auto shift improves efficiency across job sites to maneuver faster when needed.
